Black Student Union at Berkeley demands a building be named after a cop killer

[WAB]

She believed that while abortion was sometimes justified it should generally be avoided, and she considered contraception the only practical way to avoid the use of abortions.

- the Wikipedia page on Margaret Sanger. Look it up and do some reading.*

Thanks for introducing me to this pioneer in rational thought individual. My grandmother - my father's mother - had two 'back-alley' abortions. Luckily for me, she decided to have my father. She was 42 years old at the time and was probably too guilty to have another abortion. Women who have abortions are not 'baby-killers'. They are women who are either in trouble, cannot afford to raise a child, or who simply decide not to let a pregnancy go full-term, for whatever reason.

Starman, do you think a woman who is violently raped ought to be legally forced to bear that child? If the answer is yes, then your next question is: why would you advocate a law that forced a rape victim to bear the offspring of a violent man? Do we need more violent men in the gene-pool? As you know, these tendencies can often be genetic, though of course not always.

I have a recently deceased best friend who's wife had the child of a rapist. This was long before she was my late friend's wife. She bore a special love for the child. I think that's something special, and I applaud her decision.

*Indeed Loretta!

Cap'n Kirk rules! I think the only entity who could outsmart Kirk is Bugs Bunny. If I was a producer, I'd see if I could get a screenwriter to pit the two together.

I wanted to quote Tom Sawyer's post, but hit 'reply' instead.

Obviously these students don't think this man was a criminal.

Perhaps current events are helping to give them that impression.

Ooops, I failed to read far enough in the Wiki page on Sanger:

Sanger's writings echoed ideas about inferiority and loose morals of particular races that were widespread in the contemporary United States.[85] In one "What Every Girl Should Know" commentary, she references popular opinion that Aboriginal Australians were "just a step higher than the chimpanzee" with "little sexual control," as compared to the "normal man and Woman."[78]

Reminds me of when I read one of the Campfire Girl novels as a lark. I kept seeing racist remarks, but initially thought the author was employing an 'unreliable first person' tactic, and that the silliness of racism would be exposed before long. I was wrong. If you want to have your skin crawl, check out one of those books.

And by the way, hell doesn't exist.

You haven't met the women in my life.

My ex-wife was Satan on a bicycle*. "There, I ran rings around you logically!" (Monty Python)

*That's not true. We came from different worlds and we clashed like the Titanic and that iceberg, and while there were tears aplenty, there was also something like romantic love, at least for a time, and two wonderful children.

Or maybe they are 3rd-graders who are easily influenced by idiotic teachers.

Not likely.

Or they just don't pay attention to the facts and treat it as an automatic black = good, white = bad.

What happened to the old "this guy gave us a $100,000,000 donation" way of naming university buildings?

It's not as funny as naming them after Captain Kirk.

Kirk RULZ!

It's not just Berkeley, racist black protests have been going even in Valdosta State University here in Georgia. Difference being that the local protest leader, Eric Sheppard is now wanted by the police for making threats and having a gun.
Father of Eric Sheppard Pleads With Son To Surrender

Here's a video of Sheppard's racist ranting where he said he was a "terrorist toward white people" because he thinks we are all "liars" and "wicked":


He is also one of those idiots who think Jesus was black because of an out of context line in Revelation.
I am sure however that there are people on here (you know who you are) who will agree with that little racist shit.

I was with him for about 3 minutes, and I was prepared to defend him; then he started to get crazy.

Hello, Eric, you don't redress wrong with wrong, you don't talk about genocide, you don't do that crazy shit. You want respect, lower your fist. Take the gun away from my head. You want to talk about Jesus? Great! I don't think He was white either. And you're right, He was a revolutionary. He came here to shake things up and to waken up the world. Somewhere along the way you got twisted up with anger. Anger is a poison. You are quite right to point out that Jesus got angry too, upsetting the tables of the money changers. Moses got angry as well, smashing the tablets whereon the laws of those greater than us (God) were written. I get it. Everyone gets it. But you don't talk genocide. That puts you in the same category as Hitler. Who the fuck wants another Hitler? Listen to your father.

 

[WAB]

Derec, do you actively look for black people to hate or do you just like stirring up shit on general principle?

Neither. I know I'm not Derec. He doesn't hate black people. I've read enough of his posts to grok that.

In a nation where a child can get shot to death in a public park and children can get taken away from their parents for simply walking to a public park, picking in your ass about a building being named for a person 99.99% of the general population has never heard of and that even fewer people will ever see much less enter is a worthwhile endeavor to you? This is a hill you wish to die on?

It's a worthwhile endeavor.

I wish I could die right now, and I don't need no phuckn hill.

Athena, how does it feel to be so obsessed with race? I'm sincerely curious. I admit I'm lucky in that I'm a white man, and I never had to dwell on the color of my skin.

And WTF happened to Davka? I miss him.

Didn't say he did.

I disagree.

Awareness is not obsession. But thank you for trying to read my mind as well.

You think its lucky? Now that is interesting, Hmmm.

[Derec]

You want to talk about Jesus? Great! I don't think He was white either.

Technically he was as people from the Near East are classified as "white". Many black supremacists however, use an out of context verse from Revelation (Eric specifically mentioned Revelation too) to argue that Jesus was black (as in sub-Saharan African) which is ridiculous, yet taken seriously by many politically correct people.
Let's take a look at the verse, shall we?

14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Black supremacist racists claim that reference to "white wool" is to kinky hair typical of Africans, where in reality the reference is to the white color, not texture (are we to believe his hair also had the texture and possibly temperature of snow?). And even if it was about texture, have they never heard of jewfros? . They also say that the "burnished bronze" reference is to black skin color whereas it is obvious this is not referring to skin color of a historical Jesus but about resurrected, heavenly Christ's feet glowing in a supernatural manner. Specifically the two references are allusions to Daniel, specifically Daniel 7 with the Ancient of Days described thus,

9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.

, as well as Daniel 10 in which an angelic figure is described.

5 I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.

 

[Derec]

Not likely.

Not likely that 8 year olds are impressionable, easily misled by not well-meaning adults, and incapable of forming informed opinions about guilt or innocence or convicted murderers?
What kind of 8 year olds do you know?

 

[Derec]

Her question was why do so many of your threads deal exclusively with such situations/people?

I do not think I start that many. It certainly is far less than AA. If there are more than usual recently then only to counteract the erroneous narrative that emerged in the wake of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.

What? No white people outside the city?

I was being facetious.

 

[Derec]

You think I wish you dead?

No, but you tend to be hostile toward me and you used the "dying on a hill" metaphor ...

 

[WAB]

^ You typed that, and then you said you didn't say that he hated black people? I don't understand. Why would you ask Derec if he looked for black people to hate if you don't think he hates black people? OK, maybe you don't think he hates black people, but you're bright enough to see how that question I quoted could be interpreted as an accusation of race hatred?

You go on to say that you find it interesting that I said I was lucky to be white. Of course I'm lucky to be white! I never had to endure oppression and hatred; I never had to feel the anger and rage at knowing that my ancestors were brutally captured and packed into ships by evil, asshole slave-traders; I was never automatically disadvantaged when it came to getting a job, I was never held in contempt by psychotic assholes wearing pointy white hats...

You may have thought that by 'lucky' I meant that I thought: Hey, I'm white! I'm superior! I'm a member of the master race! Whoooo-eeeeeeeh! It's easy-street for me! Yeah, BABY!

That's NOT what I meant.
